Story 02: Jeff (NJ) wonders, ‘what’s my role?’

My name is Jeffrey Behrens and I've been teaching Electrical Trades since 2022.

What made me happy this week >>>

…The warmer weather and just sitting outside with the farm animals.

From my camera roll that makes me smile >>>

It’s my new weekend morning wake up call and always puts a smile on my face… My brother in-law Jose introduced this to me on a family vacation over the holidays and I immediately ordered it online, so that it would be there when I got home… lol

Teacher pressure feels like >>>

Teacher pressure to me feels like trying to constantly gauge my role as a teacher. Like what’s to much and what’s not enough? How hard to challenge and push? And how when to back off? What advice to speak? And what advice to withhold? I mean, I’m just their teacher??? Yet, I am their teacher!!! Finding how my role fits in their life is something I’m constantly trying to figure out, so that I can bring the most of myself to teach anything and everything possible to my students.
